Speed 3 Pilot

Harley XR1200 on Kam Hwy near Pali Hwy this morning...first one I've seen on the road...

Two hang gliders soaring in the vicinity of Makapuu cliffs a little later...

Rossi replica R1 at SS a bit after that...

Also at SS, the BMW S1000 "test" bike...judging by the lack of chickenstrips, it's been getting a workout...

Life is tough, it's tougher if you're stupid...

Gettin' old ain't for wimps...

You only live once and I feel like I'm running out of time...

think they would let me test ride that thing even though i have no intention of ever buying it, you know just so i can see if its really worth all the hype
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

mac900 rode it and I don't think he was buying, especially after the work that has just been done on his 848... ;D

It never hurts to ask.  My boss would love it if I bought one. If I wasn't a Ducati fan & I was looking to buy a SBK I probably would buy the BMW. The bike is definitely good but what I think has most magazines going is that BMW actually made a bike in that class that is as good as it is and is not priced out of this world. It is a very nice package! But I'm keeping the 848 for a while.  ;D
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Harley ? .......... Rode this to my friends place this morning to save it from certain tsunami death.  Tires were low & I thought I was going to roll into a smoking ball at 20 mph.   :o

Not a moto but yesterday around 9:30 there was a white Tesla stuck behind me going up University. Eventually went around me and I got a good look. First time I've ever seen one on the road. It was funny because my first reaction wasn't "oh cool a Tesla!" but "oh cool he gets an electric car tax credit!" I was taken aback by my reaction lol. Then sure enough, when he passed me, he had the special electric car license plate.

Saw that guy down on Ward a few days ago.  Cool little car, expensive though, but perfect for the Island.  [thumbsup]
